| by Jay Hi there. I have watched all films by Gurinder Chada and think they are fantastic (my fav being Bride and Prejudice!). I hear that the film Dallas is being worked on and I know this is going to be just as fab (both me and my husband are big fans of the TV series!!!!). I note that the big theme in Gurinder Chada's movies seems to be inter-racial issues and, up until now, the films have focused on forming inter-racial relationships. I myself am married to an English guy and, as a suggestion, I think it would be fantastic if Gurinderji made a film about inter-racial marriages, maybe placing more emphasis on the trials and tribulations of such marriages! I must say, my husband is wonderful. He is very Indian (sometimes more than me!) and has settled into the Indian way of life with ease! It would be good to move away from fairytale stories and maybe start to deal with real issues and what's really going on in the world today! As you all know, inter-racial marriages have become extremely common in both UK and USA and every generation has it's own feelings about such marriages! I think, generally, people's thinking is becoming more liberal, although maybe the older generations are still stuck in the old ways thinking that Indian is best! I think it is extremely important to emphasis and highlight the point that no nationality, religion etc is completely good or bad. We need to begin to highlight that every religon has it's good points and bad points and that, just because you are indian does not mean that you are better than other races! With the right mix of actors and actresses, I think a movie dealing with such issues has the real potential of becoming a big hit with all! Regards J Comment on this... | ||||

| by Alisha Hi there, Does anyone have a contact address for Ms chadha as i would like to send a letter or praise on to her, and send her a short novel- based on a true story from which i believe she may gain some inspiration. I understand she was brought up in England, and as an anglo-asian im sure she has experienced many hardships in errasing racial barriers, however i think it may be of benefit to hear the story of a young anglo-asian trying to lift the current racial barriers now. Im sure shes over-whelmed with fan mail...but its a worth a try right? xxx Comment on this... |

| by jimmy my problem with Gurinder Chadha's films, are she seems to be trying to break racial barriers, but always restricts herself to indian women desiring the english man...all i know is that the english man caused alot of problems in india...so what is so special about the english man? The other thing about english men is that they have none or very little culture...so why isnt she more imaginitive and mix the indian culture with west indian or chinese or jewish, where there is culture?..something different than what she is producing...where i come from i see many relationships between blacks and asians..but Gurinder Chadha doesnt seem to want to address these issues Comment on this... | ||||

| by Simin Dear Madame I am a student studying my A levels in media. In my assignment I have chosen to study the field of women and bollywood films. I would feel very obliged if you could please answer a few of my questions, to help me come to a conclusion on how women directors get treated in the film industry, and also please do not feel hesitated to tell me about anything else that you may believe is relevant. 1) How have you found working in the film industry? Have you ever received any sexist comments made from the media or other places? 2) Has anyone ever said to you that you are making a feminist film? 3) As you are a female director, what do you think of other female directors, are they do you think finding it hard to cope? Thank you very much With kind regards Simin Daula Comment on this... | ||||
